Overview

Plastic Soldiers: Air Support, from developer and publisher Sprue Studio, drops you into a miniature battlefield where the Green Army fights for survival across picnic blankets, sandpits, and garden ponds. This top-down arcade helicopter shooter, released on November 7, 2026, blends fast, readable action with a playful plastic world.

You pilot a gunship low over these tiny terrains, and everything below—tank columns, anti-air guns, gunboats, dug-in infantry, and even giant ants—wants you dead.

The core loop is straightforward and satisfying: line up a strafing run, dump a salvo into a convoy, and winch a crate out of the wreckage before the next wave arrives. It's chunky, arcade-style combat that rewards quick reflexes and smart positioning.

Highlights

  • Hand-Built Missions with Real Objectives: Each mission is designed around a specific job, not just a kill count. You might sink a flotilla, escort a steam train through hostile hills, or find the battery it needs to finish the run.
  • Varied Miniature Environments: From picnic blankets to snowbound prison camps, the plastic world offers diverse backdrops that keep the action fresh.
  • Multiple Play Modes: Supports single-player, multiplayer, and online co-op, so you can tackle the campaign solo or with friends.

Who It's For

If you enjoy arcade shooters with a nostalgic toy-soldier theme, or if you're looking for a cooperative action game that's easy to pick up but offers depth in mission design, Plastic Soldiers: Air Support is a solid choice. The top-down perspective and clear objectives make it accessible, while the variety of threats and missions keeps things engaging.
